Twichell's diaries are in the Beineke Library at Yale. I've not read them all, but what I have read shows more a chronicling of TWichell's life in Hartford as a pastor. There are references to Twain's performances for the Monday Evending Club that reveal Twichell's admiration for Clemens. (There is also some correspondence between the two that is, I think, more revealing about Twichell's reaction to Clemens's religious struggles.) The diaries have not been published. But why do you call the friendship between Twichell and Clemens curious? Twichell's Christianity was not fundamentalist, hidebound, or rigid, and he was fully aware of trends in scientific and social thought. His own faith was rather capacious and tolerant of the quests of others. And Clemens was never SURE about what, if any, god existed, and what, if any, consideration god might give to humanity. He tackled these questions energetically and regularly. Given their mutual concern in issues of faith, what's so curious about their friendship? To my knowledge, the best (still) treatment of Twichell as a member of Clemens's Hartford community (dare I say anything about discourse?) is Kenneth Andrews's _Nook Farm_, though I think the qualifications I offer about the religious life of the community in _Sentimental Twain_ are worth considering.
